Number of Turns
The number of players determines how many turns each player takes
in a game.

* In a 3-player game, each player has 4 turns.
* In a 4-player game, each player has 3 turns.
What to Do on Your Turn
On each turn, you may roll the dice UP TO THREE TIMES, trying to
roll as many of the same Pokémon characters as you can. Add up
the matching dice and mark your score by placing the matching
character's token on the scoreboard. This ends your turn.
Rolling the Dice A
On your first roll, roll all five dice. Set aside any dice that you may
want to keep. If you have dice that match, you could stop rolling now
and score — or you could continue to roll, hoping to score higher!
For your second and third rolls, you may pick up ANY or ALL of the
dice and roll them again. You can change which character you are
trying to match at any time!
You could score after your second roll, if you wish. If you decide to roll
a third time, however, your dice are final and you must add up your
turn’s score. Your turn is then over.
PLAY EXAMPLE

You rolled 2 Torchics, 1 Treecko, 1 Mudkip, and 1 Wynaut.

Special Pikachu Rolls
If you roll a Pikachu, it's “wild!” A Pikachu counts as ANY character.

could count the Pikachu as another Mudkip, another Treecko or 1
of ANY of the other characters you haven't scored yet!

you must score ZERO for

you decide to place your Wynaut token on its matching space in the
Picture Column to score ZERO.

SAME space in the Picture Column.
To score ZERO, place your token on the
characters space in the Picture Column.

numbers above each of
their tokens. The player
with the highest total wins!

their tokens’ column numbers to get their final
scores. The Green player has 15. The Blue player
wins with a total of 16!

you can!
